I have a 01 ex coupe. im planning on putting skunk2 springs, camber kit, and strut tower bars. I was wondering what i could do to the motor besides intake, exhaust, and headers. i cant afford to do turbo right now. what could i do that would make a noticeable difference?

Not much. But how much are you looking to spend. I/H/E wont do too much on our engines, you should spend the money doing a really good tune up. Flush everything and change all oils and fluids. And one more thing, skunk 2 springs on stock shocks will blow. So you should get a milder drop if you want stock springs, OR buy some Konis and ground control coilovers if you want to be slammed. But that's just my 2 cents

what shocks should i put if i just wanna put skunk2 springs on, no coilovers.

depends on the amount of drop. tokico hp are good but only for up to 1.7 inch drop.

For the motor you can upgrade the cam. Its the most hp you'll get out of any mod besides a turbo.

what cam would you put in it? How much hp does it add

I personally would put a Crower stage 2 cam with valve spring upgrade... hence why I have one up for sale! I figured the stage 1 wasnt enough, and the stage 3 was a little too serious, so stage 2 fit my blend of streetability and performance. I have an LX so I was going to swap heads and all this other nonsense, where as you already have a better platform to start out with (D17a2)
